Summary: The Classic BattleTech Companion offers advanced and alternate rules for players and gamemasters. This indispensable book provides numerous new skills and traits, advanced weather rules, administration and organization of noble land-holds and more information on life in the MechWarrior universe.
Combining the gaming rules from BattleTech (board game), CityTech and AeroTech plus extra rules previously published in various other products into a single volume, The BattleTech Compendium provided rules clarifications and added a number of optional rules. In this fashion, it was the first BattleTech core rulebook.
